Hounded by the Fake and Real Young Masters

"A controlling fake young master x a hot-tempered, adored young master receiving"

Yu Zhi wants to break off his engagement.

He is the pampered, willful young master of the Yu family. Everyone says only his childhood friend Yan Songyuan can put up with him, indulging his every whim.

So Yu Zhi reluctantly agreed to get engaged to him.

But lately, Yan Songyuan has changed.

Whenever Yu Zhi goes out, Yan Songyuan checks up on him. He casually reads through the messages on Yu Zhi's phone, restricts who he can be friends with, and keeps a close watch on what he eats and how long he sleeps each day. Yu Zhi realizes he can no longer put up with Yan Songyuan.

On the eve of their engagement banquet, it is revealed that Yan Songyuan was adopted because he looked like the family's missing son. Yan Zong, the real young master who vanished in an accident years ago, returns, and Yu Zhi takes the opportunity to call off the engagement.

But Yan Songyuan, usually so gentle with everyone, wears an expression of gloom Yu Zhi has never seen before.

“He's back, so you're going to abandon me and go to him?”

To get away from Yan Songyuan once and for all, Yu Zhi makes a deal with the real young master, Yan Zong, to put on an act.

Yan Zong spent years adrift in a foreign country. He can barely speak Chinese, knows next to nothing about everyday life, and keeps following Yu Zhi around in silence, wearing a face much like Yan Songyuan's.

Yu Zhi mistakes him for someone else several times, but Yan Zong never gets angry.

Both families are happy to see it.

Yan Zong is great. He doesn't meddle or interfere with Yu Zhi's friendships, whether it's his gaming buddy, his business partner at the studio, or some overseas business associate of unknown origins.

Yan Zong never asks about any of them.

Yu Zhi thinks he has finally regained his long-lost freedom.

So why does Yan Zong ask in a soft voice, “Why don't we make the act real?”

Right up until he discovers a tracking device planted in his phone, Yu Zhi thinks Yan Zong is a normal person.

It turns out Yan Zong has a secret room.

The monitor screens show footage of Yu Zhi's home, his studio, and every place he visits regularly.

All this time, Yan Zong has been watching him from the shadows.

Even the friends Yu Zhi thought he had were all played by Yan Zong alone.

He's an even more deeply concealed control freak than Yan Songyuan.
